Tonight we find out the order of the 2017 NBA Draft as the lottery will put the first 15 teams in place, but the crucial part is finding out who will go first, second and third.
Why is this important to UCLA Basketball fans? Because former Bruin Lonzo Ball should be one of the first three players selected in this year’s draft.
The storyline (mostly fabricated by his father), is how the Southern California phenom should stay in the area and play for the hometown Los Angeles Lakers.
Though that is a possibility, there are many ways the draft could play out for Ball. The Lakers have a 15.6% chance of getting the #1 pick, which it is assumed that they will go for Ball. But if Ball doesn’t bounce their way, Lonzo could head east.
Next: What if Lonzo is not chosen by the Lakers?
There is no doubt a lot of drama surrounding the lottery, so to get things going in the right direction, get your popcorn and Twitter ready as the fate of the NBA will be decided tonight!
